HB SIPS: SPRING CLEAN

It’s spring cleaning season! That means we’re getting organized, from our closets to our diets. To recharge our digestive systems, our friends at Imbibery London shared an exclusive smoothie recipe, perfect for kicking off a spring detox. Every ingredient positively affects the body. For the ultimate power boost; the avocado and coconut oil fuels the brain for hours while satiating the stomach. The spinach, cucumber, celery and parsley promote cell renewal while being incredible sources of antioxidants and the lime provides a sweet flavor (with no actual sugar) and a boost of Vitamin C. Get blendin’ and don’t forget to tag #HBFit to show us your spring clean smoothie!
